CDC Kills Gun Violence Research, Beats Dead Horse Instead
In a move sassier than your ex’s last text, the CDC has sidelined its own gun violence experts and shut down research aimed at preventing shootings, because why solve the problem when you can amplify it? Experts called it a 'cruel irony'—probably a polite way of saying 'What fresh apocalypse is this?' This came amid a backdrop of seemingly endless deadly shootings, like trying to fix a car by removing the driver mid-race. CDC offices must be practicing for their next role as a plot twist in a tragedy series. Meanwhile, gun violence gets a hall pass while science takes a coffee break.

(1 of 3)The CDC dropping gun violence research is like if your fire department quit just as your house started burning. Who needs solutions when you can have cruel irony and layoffs?
The CDC firing gun violence experts is peak ‘let’s ignore the problem and hope it disappears’ energy. Maybe they’re auditioning for the role of official denial squad.
Imagine quitting the thing that might save lives during a surge in shootings. The CDC’s new strategy sounds like a reality show called 'How to Make Problems Worse.'
